We are often asked what is a Home Staging?
Home Staging is the art of preparing, packaging and presenting a home for sale or let in a way that makes it sell quickly and for the best possible price.
Recommending de-cluttering, arrangement of furniture, wall colours, repairs, art and accessories, a professional Home Stager knows exactly what changes will make the greatest return on your investment.
Staging homes is all about removing the owner's tastes and creating an aspirational environment for a potential buyer to view.
The ability to stage homes is about design, creativity, understanding why and what people buy and then achieving the look on a budget.
How does Home Staging boost the selling price of my home?
People shop with logic but they buy with emotion.
If your home looks fantastic and the buyer can immediately imagine living there, they are more likely to make an offer. If enough buyers are bidding on your home, the selling price goes up way past your asking price.
Most buyers cannot look past unattractive or disorganized rooms or figure out how their furniture might look in an empty room.
Home staging creates the ideal environment for buyers so they don't have to use their own imagination and can immediately fall in love and say "I want this home!"
The current housing market is moving quickly anyway. Why should I bother with Home Staging?
In a sellers market where more buyers are chasing fewer listings, homes sell quickly and often above asking price. In such a market, if your home is well staged you have 10 buyers wanting your house instead of the 2 or 3 offers you might have had without staging. Naturally your home will sell for more with more buyers bidding on it!
